Leonard Drane is a death row inmate in
the state of Georgia. He was born December 1959. He was convicted and sentenced in September 1992.
Crime
At trial, a witness testified that
Drane told her prior to his arrest that he and Willis “picked this
[black] girl, Linda Renee Blackmon up at the Huddle House in Elberton, Georgia, and that it
would be the last ride she'd ever take.” He further said he
“[had sex with] her so bad that she'd never have any more babies”
and that he and Willis threw her in the lake.
He said the only mistake he made was to put one block on her instead of two (the body had just been discovered). Another witness testified that Drane told him he cut the victim's throat because she was still alive after Willis shot her.
On the night of the murder, after Willis and Drane had disposed of the victim's body, they went to a bar and met some women. They went with the women to a trailer, where they drank beer and made comments about hating blacks.
One of the women noticed that the men, who were not wearing shirts, had scratches on their chests. In the penalty phase, one of the women testified that Drane forced her to orally sodomize him at knife point that same night.
